Macro Life

Thursday,4 June 2009

Having spend 12 years as an active diver and 5 of those years as a Padi Instructor, I have enjoyed diving experiences all over the World, the North Sea, Scotland, Egypt, Greece, Cave diving in Sardinia, Malaysia Pennisular to name a few, and on the majority of those dives I would spend my time, looking at either wrecks, caves, corals and the larger fish, I have never spent time before searching for Macro life.

At Pom Pom we have some lovely coral reefs and an abundance of coral fishes, but best of all, we have some fascinating macro life, including nudibranch, gobies, crabs, shrimps, lobsters, leaffish and frogfish. On my first dive here, I was unsure if I would be interested in macro life, it was so small and hard to find! Now I love it and can’t wait to get in the water to start searching for all the tiny creatures.

It has renewed my diving enthusiasm, and also makes me realise what I must have missed before on previous dives, and on a deeper level, it makes one realise what one misses in life by not taking time to stop and really see what has been there all along.
